When I try login the Instagram in the app I received the following error: { "code": 403, "error_type": "OAuthForbiddenException", "error_message": "Implicit authentication is disabled" } Can anyone help please?

Instragram changed this for a reason though, so should probably think twice before going public with your app: http://instagram.com/developer/restrict-api-requests/
Hf. with further development ;)

2,287 PointsI was just about to post the same question.. From what I can find online it looks like Instagram has disabled this form of authentication and we now have to use an "explicit" one. I am not quite sure how to do that yet but I will post if I can figure it out.
